Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes or kidney disease. But these diseases can often be prevented, an NHS Health Check can help by assessing the risk and giving personalised advice on how to reduce it. Please ring the surgery to book an appointment to see the Health Care Assistant regarding this if you are not seen at the surgery in any chronic disease clinic.
These are usually undertaken every 5 years and patients will be contacted after they turn 40.
